The second edition of the “Righteous Gentiles of Belarus” book was presented at the exhibition.

Boris Gersten noted the importance of the exhibition: “Many things have been said about the victimsof the Holocaust, the victims of the war, but I believe that we need to talk more about those who fought in guerilla units and in the army, who fought Nazism and Fascism. This is very important because these people helped us all preserve the feeling of dignity that every people has.”
